Commentary on John 3:2
Nicodemus comes 'by night'—whether from fear, secrecy, or practical scheduling, the symbolism is clear in John's light/darkness motif. He comes from darkness toward the Light. His address 'Rabbi' acknowledges Jesus as teacher despite having no formal training (John 7:15). His confession—'we know that thou art a teacher come from God'—recognizes divine attestation through miracles, yet this is insufficient understanding. Nicodemus knows Jesus is from God but doesn't yet know He IS God.
